Live Recorder

The Live recorder is available in the Live view and the Grid view. Click on to record directly from the displayed camera live images and save as *.mxg files. In the Grid view, the camera’s live image that is in the focus window is always recorded. For this reason, live recording can also only be used in the Grid view when there is a focus window.
Users with administrator rights can determine where the clips are saved and how long the recordings can be in Settings (Mac menu: MxManagementCenter > Preferences > Live Recorder, Windows menu: File > Settings > Live Recorder).

Note: Audio can only be recorded with the Live Recorder under these conditions:

• Audio transmission must be activated on the camera side.
• In the Live View of the MxManagementCenter, the audio connection must be activated by clicking on .

Starting and Stopping Recording

To start recording, click on . To stop the recording before the set period of time has elapsed, click on again. A message appears shortly before the set period of time has elapsed. You can stop the recording using this message or extend the set period of time.
The recording is also stopped when you switch to a different view from the Live view or the Grid view. However, the recording is not stopped when the camera is changed in the Live view or the group in the Grid view (unless this group does not have a focus window, in this case the recording is also stopped).

Play Clip

The live image data is stored in an *.mxg file at the location specified in Settings during recording. The clip file is automatically imported into the current project when the live recording stops and the Device bar lists it using the icon in the Clips section. You can click on the clip name to playback the *.mxg clip file via the Device bar.
